It wasn't Soviet superior communication, planning or tactics that won.
It was the over-extended supply chains of the Germans, the Soviet winter, the moving of Soviet industry to the east, the massive amount of manpower,
and the resolve of the Soviet people as a result of *their* country being invaded. Sound familiar?
Yep. It wasn't superior planning and tactics by Soviets, it was inferior planning and tactics by Germans
If it hadn't been for Amuurian supplies/lend-lease, the Germans would have conquered The U.S.S.R.
Sound familiar?
Find and Read the book “ Lyme and the S.S. Elbe” It is full of Freedom of Information Act Citations . Most
Had been requested before our government here started to redact things that people made requests for.
It raised the ire of the US gov. The author was hounded and put under such mental stress after its publication that she went on the run and into hiding . I believe until she died .
This will give you a very different veiw of WW2 and tactics . During the push into Russia , Germany had several high ranking Generals at least 2 , whom held Communist beliefs . a General Paulus was in charge of the Southern swing of Germanys assault into Russia . It would have been a giant Pincher movement . Coming up from below , into Russia while Stalingrad was under siege . General Paulus , did not follow orders . He stalled his Armies at a pass into a valley that led into the heart of Russia. Providing no relief for the Armies assaulting Stalingrad.
Was rumored that the Russians had employed chemical weapons at this pass. But this is a skeptical excuse as the Germans had experience with Chemical weapons all the way back from WW1 . It would be hard to believe that the Germans did not have access to protective equipment even back then.
Believe me the above listed book is a eye opener. I could not get through it . By the second to the last chapter it had throughly changed my opinions about how Our government and others did business . Could not bear to read anymore . Life was overwhelming enough without having read all the FOIA requests . It is not a happy book .
